This site is located approximately 1.5 miles east of Fruita, Colorado in Mesa <br />County. I, Stephanie Mitchell of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) conducted <br />the inspection. Mr. Martin Azcarraga of M.A. Concrete accompanied me on the inspection. <br />This is a 112c mining operation with a 26.99 permit acres. Mining is currently active at the site. The maximum <br />allowed disturbance is 16 acres for the permit. It is estimated that the disturbance is around 5 acres. <br />The affected area was marked by fencing that were clearly visible and adequate to delineate the affected area <br />boundary in accordance with Rule 3.1.12(2). <br />Topsoil has been salvaged in advance of the excavation and placed in various berms adjacent to the pit slopes <br />on the north and east sides of the permit area. The topsoil berms appear stable with vegetative cover. <br />The Post Mining land use is approved as Industrial/ Commercial. The financial warranty held by the Division is <br />$120,584.00. This warranty is sufficient at this time of inspection due to the amount disturbed. Most of the <br />vegetation is greasewood. There were two tamarisk growing on a stockpile. The Division recommends <br />removing these before they become larger. <br />A scale house was on site and Fuel is being stored on site with adequate secondary containment with a berm <br />around the tank. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Stephanie Mitchell at the Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br />815011 phone number (970) 242-5025. <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
